root on Mac
by lowell 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Folks: A friend works on Macs exclusively and an announcement of an M$ Word vulnerability went across one of the sites she visits. This engendered a discussion of his habit of always working with administrative rights , and separate root accounts and being able to "su -" in a terminal. Then I (we) remembered that one must "verify..." and then "repair permissions" on a regular basis, even when working with administrative permissions all the time. I recall hearing that that is a common failing in the recent MacOS's (X.*) I remember some people on this list speaking of working with or using Mac's; would anyone care to comment on this situation, i.e. working as root (that's what it amounts to) and still having permission problems...

Two 16+2 port switches
by Jonathan Hutchins 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

My basement switch failed yesterday, so I called Surplus Exchange. They said they had two 16 port 10/100 switches for $10 each, so I picked them up. What they turn out to be are 16 port 10M switches with a two-port 10/100 uplink module. Not what I need. Will pass them on for what I paid. NBase Mega Switch G Model NH218, with NH202-2MP Uplink module. Managed switch with SNMP. Management access through nine pin standard RS-232 serial port on front panel. 1U rackmount with ears, 120V(230V) power on back. Two fans, one unit is missing a fan. 16 10M ports, two 10/100 uplink ports, total 18 ports.
